Russia plans to put a nuclear power plant on the ⁠moon in the next decade to supply its lunar space programme and a joint Russian-Chinese research station, as major powers rush to explore the earth's only natural satellite.

    Honestly putting nuclear waste on the moon is probably the best option for it. I wonder how they would hope to cool it though? Maybe just run it when the sun isn’t hitting it?

      The problem with launching nuclear materials into space is sometimes space ships blow up and that would scatter nuclear material everywhere.

      That’s why we don’t do that already.

          A lot of people don’t think of that. I didn’t think of it until I listened to a podcast about nuclear waste.

        USA and the USSR already did that in the 50’s and 60’s https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=High-altitude_nuclear_explosion&wprov=rarw1

        No humans or other animals around to eat it as long as the moon doesn’t come crashing down.

          Or nothing hits the moon and sends said waste into space/our general direction.

            The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason. It was waxing, only one day short of full. The time was 05:03:12 UTC. Later it would be designated A+0.0.0, or simply Zero.

          The moon, angered by our disrespect, changes course and velocity to impact earth, killing us all.

          No humans or other animals

          Moon: “damn right”
